Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 3-First-day-of-school fears are confronted in this story written by Mike Thaler and illustrated by Jared Lee (Scholastic, 1999). The animated video is narrated by Jonathan Lipnicki and Diana Canova and accompanied by suitably creepy music. A humorous introduction to a discussion about rumors and exaggeration.
